Homebrew Discussion Confirmed: Mario All Stars 3D Collection have 3 emulators

[GatoFiestero]

well just change the hash But that dont works

View attachment 225051

then just compress again the nro to nrolz and edit the sha256 from NRR (you need patch the sysmodule "ro") and put the file in layeredfs

I can't wait to see the results of this black magic.

I found this information if you guys want to check it

Interestingly, the code patches are done through Lua. The emulator takes over execution upon/after reaching a certain PC address and transfers control to a Lua script.

Also, whoever made the emulator configuration file made a typo. They spelled the word cannon as "canoe". pic.twitter.com/BMXx0GDdW1

And this shitty graphic that I made explaining how this nintendo emulator system works (but in my imagination):

A question: Are texturess prerendered? Or they render on the fly? I say because iirc Nvidia used a real time algorythm to upscale textures for Galaxy on Shield

 

[ShortFuse]

FYI, the DOL is recompiled. The made changes to the game related to some rendering stuff. The map file (marioEU.map) has new symbols.

 

[Silent_Gunner]

Nope unless we create a group of discord.

Or took the discussion to somewhere like the Dolphin Forums.

We have a discord open now, anyone can join. Might be a good point to post it on the dolphin forums though.

Yeah, if anyone knew something about the GC/Wii, it'd be the guys and gals over that way.

Yeah, it's probably best to put it up on the dolphin forums so we can get as much help as possible

If anyone has an account on their forum and is fairly active, feel free to invite them in, though I'm sure they would've seen it already, seeing as the subject the sites are for.

Is there any other places we should look for help?

I honestly wouldn't know, i'm sure that after hearing about the emulators being there, that there is many people working on it behind closed doors.

On the fly using the vulkan API

I was crazy looking for the roms to do the test, I ended up choosing to download Super Mario 3D All Star and extracting the .xci to get the .gcm file containing the Super Mario Sunshine iso

It worked without any problems when I opened it in Dolphin

the cutscenes have a black screen because the videos are in a separate folder that the Nintendo emulator uses to load (only the audio and subtitles are left)

So, I decided to try Nintendont on my Wii U to see if it would work the same way.

I was really curious, the layout of the Game Cube buttons are not so good on the GamePad, with the button layout of the Switch it would be perfect on the Wii U, I also wondered if it would work with Widescreen.

But to my surprise when I tried to load the game :

Was as you can see in the image, but not only that, the game was running considerably slow.

I tried to change some settings in Nintendont but the result was always the same and only this game ran like that.

Well, who was curious if the Super Mario 3D All Star .iso containing Super Mario Sunshine would work on the Wii U Nintendont, this is the result.

That's because the WiiU you're using is most likely NTSC-U, and the Sunshine GCM in the All-Stars collection is the PAL one, hence the weird gra@hics.
It loads fine on Dolphin because it doesn't care about Hertz signals.

Try patching it for NTSC-U, or I don't recall if Nintendont has an option to force PAL into 60Hz/NTSC or something.

Doesn't Canoe (SNES emulator in SNES Online) uses hashes too to validate the games? Perhaps @DarkAkuma could help

Pretty sure the method used will be different

I managed to boot up the EU rom of Sunshine but it crashed after like 5 seconds

It works fine with Nintendont on the regular Wii. The only issues are some textures not displaying properly and cutscenes not showing. But that's just because they're added in separately on the switch version.

Good to know, imformation pass on. The game runs perfectly fine, sans videos and accompanying audio, yes?

Correct, I only just started it up, but so far it's not laggy or anything, plays just fine. Only the HD textures and cutscenes are missing. Also some voice lines.

Cool, that's important to know. any information on how that iso acts is good information until proven otherwise. Much appreciated!
